Abstract:Optical properties of protein-conjugated metallic nanowires are theoretically investigated based on the Mie theory and the core-shell model. Our numerical calculations show that optical spectra of protein-conjugated nanowires can have more a maximum compared to these nanowires without biomolecules. This finding is in a good agreement with previous experiments. We provide better interpretation for the origin of optical peaks in absorption spectrum of nanowires. Our results can be used for designing biosensors a… Show more
